No. Barrett was fouled. He also didn’t refuse to shoot. That was a BS no-call.

how does Thibs not give him more time next game?

How does he not start? I don't understand going with the same group that gives us 20 point deficits.

probably randle or Fournier- but I honestly don't remember - too many switches.

Nope. We would have the tallest lineup in the NBA

And even worse defense

You two seriously think Obi can keep up with other SF??

I was opposed to it at first but I think now Thibs needs to start looking at Obi at center.

The league has gone real small as of late. Obi could become our version of Turner against certain lineups. Maybe.

Nah we needed that 20 point debacle. Because without it the is no Obi coming to rescue our pathetic effort. It was a chance for Obi and he made the most of it

Our shooting guard is EF.

I really thought we were done with the losing after last season. But it's starting to feel more and more like your typical Knicks season. I feel really down and disappointed right now cause I did not expect this. Most disappointed in Randle. It's looking more and more like this dude got paid and decided to mail it in. Taking 8 shots tonight is the prove you need. It's the 4th game this season he's taken less then 10 shots. I don't think he did that at all last season. Cause he was hungry. He wanted to be Most Improved, All-NBA and an All-Star. Now that he has his money, he's not trying or cares as much. Tape doesn't lie. The stats don't lie either. It sucks cause I really liked Randle from last season.

But it's not just Randle. EVERYONE deserves blame here except IQ and Obi cause they are kids. I don't give RJ that slack cause he was the 3rd pick and this is his 3rd season and he's done nothing. Even Thibs, who I love, deserves blame too. When a team comes out flat and not ready to play like tonight, that's on the HC.

And shame on Rose and Perry for Fournier and Kemba. One guy lasted 20 games and the other doesn't defend or plays much in the 4th and provides nothing if his shot isn't falling. Fournier has to be the most anti Thibs type player you can find too. WTF were they thinking?!

Maybe I'm just in a bad mood and overreacting but it's depressing right now.

The play before when he drove to the basket, was fouled (no call) and kicked it out to the 3 pt line. He needed to shoot it and make it there. And yes, totally agree, he was fouled again on his 3pt shot to end the game. Still road game, don’t let the refs decide it

Had to watch the Toronto broadcast. They said the team who wins the 1st Q wins the game 70% of the time. Can we get the starting unit right please.

That was the right play. He had the shot blocker in his face and the defense collapsed on him. He kicked it out to the “best” player for an open shot.

Something about that starting unit that makes your stats look weak. Burks could’ve played off the bench all season and wouldve never had 1 pt all game. He’s trying to be a PG instead of being Burks
